Anyone know how the Colt's game went? I'm so dumb I couldn't find you all and I feel terrible! I don't know what happened, but I got all turned around and lost and then I thought I found you all, but it was blocked off so I don't think it was the right place...anyway, I want to know how it went?!?!

Kristyn

It went really well.

Hey y'all! I'm working on putting together a Euchre tournament as a fundriaser for our family team. Any suggestions on location or how to actually run one??? I know a lot of people participated in these in college, but I wasn't one. Also, any suggestions on what the buy-in should be? I'm thinking $10/person and $15/couple, but don't want to price myself out of participation.....

Mary

I'd play for those prices. We held lots of euchre tournaments at church. But I'm Catholic so we do lots of things like that at church.

I am looking for some mothers of preemies in the area....message me if you are one or know someone.
Thanks Amanda

Hi Hoosiers...
I'm going to be working on Family Team stuff in my area and was looking for some good suggestions or ideas...
Thanks

We live in Fishers, IN (northeast of Indianapolis). I was born in Crown Pointe, IN and raised in Hobart, IN (for you Valpo and Schererville folks!). Our daughter, Katelyn, was a 32 weeker. Weighed 3 lbs. She is now 16 months old. Unfortunately, she was infected with CMV while in utero and that was the reason she was in the NICU so long (4 1/2 months). We were actually at the new Riley satellite in Clarian North Hospital (in Carmel). We have traveled to Riley's downtown initially after Katelyn was discharged to home to see an Infectious Disease Doc, a doc at the Craniofacial Clinic, and removal of Katie's G tube, but most of our lab draws and doc visits have been at Clarian North. Katelyn is doing well currently. She is still behind developmentally, but hopefully she will catch up. Glad to see so many active Hoosiers on here!
Love, Kelly

Hello everyone, we took our son to University of Chicago and if I would have known then what I know now I would have taken him to Riley's. My son was born at 27 weeks in 2001 and he passed away when he was 8 weeks old. I decided on UofC because it was closer and I usually heard good things. I'm still so angry with them to this day, I wouldn't even take my dog there if I could. But I loved the Ronald McDonald House they were great.

Welcome, Robin! I am so sorry that you lost your precious son at 8 weeks old. That must have been so incredibly hard. Although I was raised up in the same area that you are from, I have actually have never been to U of C. I must agree Riley's, for the most part, was great. We were very fortunate to live so close to such a fine NICU/ PICU/ Peds services. Glad you found your way to SHARE!! Love, Kelly

Hey all! I'm in Fishers, and would like to help more where I can. Any events going on soon? Connor's now 6 months, but he was a 34 weeker. His story is on teh share website.
Look forward to getting to know other preemie mommies!
